Hi Michael,
I like Nort myself & I find it anxiolytic. Desipramine is a potent NE reuptake inhibitor with the least side effects of any TCA. Nortriptyline is also a potent NE reuptake inhibitor, but it's toned down because it adds 5-HT2A antagonism which can be anxiolytic & does improve sleep & counters most SSRI side effects, downside is it does have more A1 & M1 blockade than Desipramine, it also is a modest H1 blocker.
Cheers,
Panda.
